February Surf and Flats fishing report

The temperatures have finally become comfortable for us anglers and slowly getting there for our finned friends. The Redfish are now moving around in big numbers but can be a little picky on certain days. Fishing with finesse is the key to success. Jerkbaits rigged weedless have been most productive for me.

Surf fishing in Cocoa Beach has been steady with whiting keeping anglers busy and a pompano being caught here and there. Surf temperatures are are almost right for the pompano here, anglers have been having better luck a little further south around Satellite and Melbourne beaches. A couple weeks of temperatures in the upper 70’s or 80’s will warm the water enough to bring those pompano further north. Use sand fleas if you can find them, if not, cut clams or fresh peeled shrimp will work just as good. Find beaches with rocky bottom or deeper troughs for best results. Most anglers like to fish 2 hours before and after high tide, I like to fish early morning or a couple hours before dark as well at any tide.

Also, I got some new stickers made recently. If you would like a couple mailed to you. Please send your address to nativeflycharters@gmail.com.

I plan on hitting the surf and the flats hard next week so check back for updated reports. Weather is looking great for next week so if you have a chance to get out there, Good Luck!!
